Embryological Foundations of Movement: A Body-Mind Centering® Approach, a 3-day Sydney workshop with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen

In the first 8 weeks after conception our body forms its basic structure. In this period of transformation from a group of cells to a highly differentiated human being, we go through developments, which deeply affect our movement, our mind and spirit. Some of the tissues and structures developing remain with us, some are transformed into other structures and some fade into the background, no longer existing or recognizable as the original structure. By embodying the process of embryological development, we discover the primal roots of our structure, perception, the ability to respond and to be present. This workshop will use movement and touch as the doorways into our embryological history. 

This workshop is for dancers, yoga practitioners, bodyworkers, somatic psychologists and those from other body-mind disciplines interested in unraveling the mystery of our embryological development as it relates to cellular consciousness, movement, mind and spirit. No prior experience with the Body-Mind Centering® approach is necessary.
